All, |

</p> |

|
| 32 |
<p> Many of you have, no doubt, learned of the recent loss to the Gentoo |
| 33 |
community. Known fondly as fmccor, Mr. Ferris E. McCormick's death was tragic |
| 34 |
and unexpected. His many contributions to the greater open source community |
| 35 |
will always be remembered as well as his generous friendship. It is in due |
| 36 |
honor to his life and good name that the Gentoo Foundation has donated a sum |
| 37 |
of $500 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The board of trustees |
| 38 |
believe that our donation is reflective of his wishes, given fmccor's |
| 39 |
professional life as a lawyer, and that this gift will further the movements |
| 40 |
he cared a great deal about, open source software and protecting our freedom. |
| 41 |
</p> |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
<p> The board would like to take this opportunity to encourage any and all |
| 44 |
individuals that personally knew fmccor or were benefiting from his life long |
| 45 |
contributions to donate, in kind and to the best of your ability, either to |
| 46 |
the EFF, the Gentoo Foundation, or another organization that you feel |
| 47 |
expresses these ideas. |
